End of the Fiscal Year and All That Jazz

I’m going to take a moment and share something that I am very proud of: statistics for the 2013-2014 Fiscal Year for Youth Services at the Chattanooga Public Library. Now I’m most affiliated with all things on The 2nd Floor of the Chattanooga Public Library, but as we all know it takes the whole picture and the team to make something truly magical happen. These stats will show you that it is the TEAM at the Chattanooga Public Library that makes things happen. Some of us have been called “Rock Star Librarians“ but in the great grand scheme of things that isn’t what matters. It’s how the team comes together to do amazing things. These statistics are proof that amazing things are happening in Chattanooga:

Yes. These are just numbers. And numbers only tell a part of the story. But they are a very important part of the story. And it is good to have all sides of the story.

To end, here’s one of my favorite photos from 2013-2014 at the Chattanooga Public Library. It’s Megan Emery and one of our tweens cracking a smile. It took SO much for us to get this guy to smile, but we got there. And once we did, it was all awesome from then on out.

YEAH!!! I’m so excited to be part of this awesome team that is rockin’ the numbers. It’s funny because I’m so new to this game I’m not really as surprised or blown away by the numbers it just seems like – well, of course! This team rocks so why wouldn’t there be a TON of people coming to participate in the fun?! With such great people why wouldn’t our numbers rock?!
